In 2019, that falls on August 17th.

Tour de Rock

The 2018 Tour de Rock Cops for Cancer did their first “full dress” practice ride on Saturday, August 18th and arrived in Ladysmith at 11:30 am. The welcoming was huge and the Tour has now decided to make Ladysmith one of their stops, during their practices, during the Town’s annual Show and Shine, which is held on the third Saturday of August. The tour riders raised over $800 in donations just during their practice run in Ladysmith.

*One of only 300 in Canada, the 2018 Dodge Demon is a very limited edition vehicle.  It is the world’s fastest quarter mile production car as well as the world’s fastest 0 to 60 production car ever made.

Participants are invited to start showing up at 4:00 pm to get a spot and enjoy some great “timely” entertainment as well as the famous Ladysmith A&W burgers, root beer, fries and fantastic service!

The Rod Run will leave the A&W at 7:00 pm and be escorted into Ladysmith where they travel through the roundabout and along First Avenue. The run goes to Davis Road, across the highway, down to Saltair, then back to the A&W for final party and wrap up.

There are prizes and great stories to swap!
